named to draft resolutions demanding new trial which are to be sent to governor of georgia leo frank went on trial yesterday in the press club before 1,000 mem bers of the lawyers association of il linois patrick h o'donnell pre sented the defense and then the prosecution which was to have been represented by s m brown and peter richard boylan rested the verdict was a unanimous ac quittal of frank for the murder of mary phagan and the association ap pointed a committee to draft a reso lution to be sent to every prosecuting officer in georgia as coming from [ the complete membership of the as sociation conveying the belief that frank did not have a fair trial victim or prejudice three weeks ago i believed leo frank to be a moral monstrosity and guilty said attorney o'donnell then i read one half of the evidence of one witness and concluded that frank was the vict'm of circumstances and local race and religious preju dice and his calm unvarying protes tations of innocence through the six teen months that he has been in the shadow of the gallows facing a judi cial lynching make my belief in him only the more strong the very judge who sat through the thirty days of testimony to an nounce at his conclusion that he was not convinced of frank's guilt and who dismissed a proposal to overrule the jury with the statement i am not the man to be convince might just as well have said bring me the bowl to wasii my hands of the re sponsibility mob rule convicted frank and it is for this reason that frank should be retried pol.ick sought victim the police of atlanta at the time of the murder of little mary pha gan were under investigation the records of their accomplishments show that dozens of woman-murders had been unavenged frank was a northerner and on top of that he was a jew he em ployed women and from the econom ic condition of the south he paid his women low wages a girl was murdered in frank's pencil factory by his own admis sion leo frank was the last man to see her alive it was the golden op portunity for the police to redeem themselves and to fix upon the de spised jew from the northland a crime which they at once proceeded to make unspeakable by introduction of tes timony to indicate frank a moral leper the story was circulated that the jews respected only the chastity of their own women the story went like sparks in a powder train the ritualistic murder charge on which mendel beilis faced death in kiev was no less ridiculous than this story i yet beilis went free and leo frank i to-day faces death criticises prosecutor and on one point i have to attack i the members of the legal profession six strands of hair were found on the i handle of a lathing machine in the j metal room of the factory conley i the negro swore that frank had j killed the girl there and carried her ; body with his conley's help to the ' basement where it was found the prosecuting attorney had that hair examined by an expert the report showed that the six strands of hair were not mary phagan's yet in his argument to the jury solicitor gener al dorsey repeated the statement of one girl witness who vud she thought the hair was mary's and said nothing about the expert's re port and he concealed from frank and frank's attorneys the fact that a report had been made when attorney o'donnell had com pleted his argument attorneys brown and boylan

linois patrick h o'donnell pre sented the defense and then the prosecution which was to have been represented by s m brown and peter richard boylan rested the verdict was a unanimous ac quittal of frank for the murder of mary phagan and the association ap pointed a committee to draft a reso lution to be sent to every prosecuting officer in georgia as coming from [ the complete membership of the as sociation conveying the belief that frank did not have a fair trial victim or prejudice three weeks ago i believed leo frank to be a moral monstrosity and guilty said attorney o'donnell then i read one half of the evidence of one witness and concluded that frank was the vict'm of circumstances and local race and religious preju dice and his calm unvarying protes tations of innocence through the six teen months that he has been in the shadow of the gallows facing a judi cial lynching make my belief in him only the more strong the very judge who sat through the thirty days of testimony to an nounce at his conclusion that he was not convinced of frank's guilt and who dismissed a proposal to overrule the jury with the statement i am not the man to be convince might just as well have said bring me the bowl to wasii my hands of the re sponsibility mob rule convicted frank and it is for this reason that frank should be retried pol.ick sought victim the police of atlanta at the time of the murder of little mary pha gan were under investigation the records of their accomplishments show that dozens of woman-murders had been unavenged frank was a northerner and on top of that he was a jew he em ployed women and from the econom ic condition of the south he paid his women low wages a girl was murdered in frank's pencil factory by his own admis sion leo frank was the last man to see her alive it was the golden op portunity for the police to redeem themselves and to fix upon the de spised jew from the northland a crime which they at once proceeded to make unspeakable by introduction of tes timony to indicate frank a moral leper the story was circulated that the jews respected only the chastity of their own women the story went like sparks in a powder train the ritualistic murder charge on which mendel beilis faced death in kiev was no less ridiculous than this story i yet beilis went free and leo frank i to-day faces death criticises prosecutor and on one

six strands of hair were not mary phagan's yet in his argument to the jury solicitor gener al dorsey repeated the statement of one girl witness who vud she thought the hair was mary's and said nothing
